Creating Narrative Micro-Animations
Build a strong foundation in narrative animation and visual storytelling with 5+ hours of content and 20+ guided step by step video lessons.
Animation is not just movement. It is mood, emotion, and story.
When I first started animating my illustrations, I was not thinking about technical perfection. I was focused on small moments. A pause. A glance. An awkward feeling that stayed with me. I wanted my work to feel like a quiet story unfolding, even if it only lasted a few seconds. With simple tools, curiosity, and a love for visual storytelling, I began turning everyday thoughts and emotions into short animated scenes.
Maybe you feel the same. You are an illustrator or animator who wants to go beyond static images. You care about mood, feeling, and narrative. You can imagine moments that feel meaningful and poetic, but turning that idea into a clear and finished animation feels overwhelming. You want your animations to feel like a storybook moment, not just a technical exercise, but you are not sure how to structure that process.
Here is the truth. Creating narrative micro animations is not about complex setups or advanced techniques. It is about understanding emotion, timing, and following a gentle step by step process that brings small stories to life.
In Tales in Motion Creating Narrative Micro Animations, I will guide you through the complete process of creating a short animated story. From the first spark of an idea to a finished ten to thirty second animation, you will learn how to build stories around feeling, develop visual style, storyboard moments, create animatics, animate expressive movement, and add atmosphere through color, light, and sound.
By the end of the course, you will create a complete animated scene that feels intentional and emotionally engaging. More importantly, you will feel confident translating mood and narrative into motion, understanding each step clearly and enjoying the creative process without pressure.
Because animation is not about making things move. It is about turning everyday thoughts and emotions into stories that stay with the viewer.
Hi, I'm Alisa!
A comic artist, illustrator and 2D animator based in Slovakia.
I turn everyday thoughts, emotions, and awkward moments into visual stories. I create simple, expressive comics and animations. Sometimes funny, sometimes uncomfortably honest and often inspired by overthinking and daily life.
Visually, my work is influenced by Slavic culture, which shapes the mood, humor, and character design in my comics. Many of my characters are inspired by that cultural background and the people, attitudes, and small details that come with it.
Right now, I’m focused on developing my own animation projects and sharing my creative process with others who want to draw, experiment, and create without pressure!
Bring Your Stories to Life Through Animation.

I know how frustrating it can feel to have ideas for stories and emotions, but struggle to turn them into finished animations. To see a scene clearly in your mind, yet feel unsure how to structure it, plan the movement, or make the story feel clear and intentional. I have been there too, learning through experimentation, observation, and many imperfect attempts. That is exactly why I created this course.
Tales in Motion Creating Narrative Micro Animations was designed to guide you through my complete creative process, bringing together storytelling, illustration, and animation into one gentle and beginner friendly journey.
You will learn how to shape ideas around emotion, build simple stories, develop visual style, storyboard moments, create animatics, and animate expressive movement.

By the end of the course, you will have completed a short animated story and gained a deeper understanding of how to translate mood and narrative into motion. You will feel more confident creating animations that feel personal, expressive, and true to your creative voice.
